i used to be really good at doing makeup (like, i did it for a living), but then i went through this loooong phase of wearing only tinted moisturizer, eyeliner, and mascara (i thought i was being very french) and i sort of lost all my makeup ninja skillz. i'm back on the makeup bandwagon though, and i often find myself lost in a sea of youtube beauty videos. i had no idea this was a thing? like, there's just lots of gorgeous girls on the internet who make videos showing you how you can be beautiful too? (of course, it totally helps if you start out as a naturally beautiful person, but whatevs.)

i'm totally late to the game because this bad boy is already a 'beauty cult favorite' (i hate myself for writing that), but i do love it. here i am wearing a combo of the YDK, Busted, Booty Call, and Foxy colors.

i'm trying out all my colors before chicago becomes humid (or uuuuuuumid as my 9th grade english teacher would say--she also said uuuuuuman instead human. i don't know what she had against h's? she was sort of a biotch but she rode a motorcycle to school which is sort of awesome) and makeup starts melting off the face.

I wish I could do pretty eye shadow and eye liner. I've tried to learn (via those YouTube videos you mention), but I don't think my hands are interested in making it happen. Maybe I'll take a class one day.

about me

originally from massachusetts, i now live in chicago's bucktown neighborhood with my hubs and our english
bulldog, freddie. i'm a pretty typical 30 year old woman--high fives make me
feel awkward, and i'm very interested in living with an amish family for
exactly 24 hours.

"And remember, also," added the Princess of Sweet Rhyme, "that many places you would like to see are just off the map and many things you want to know are just out of sight or a little beyond your reach. But someday you'll reach them all, for what you learn today, for no reason at all, will help you discover all the wonderful secrets of tomorrow."
